"Aunt Wang, your craftsmanship is really good, it smells so delicious..." Today, Master Li in the kitchen took a leave of absence and didn't come. Old Lady Wang personally went to the kitchen, early in the morning she went to the supermarket to buy vegetables, looking quite rich.

  Ji Xiaoli made an exaggerated gesture, sniffing hard, especially the sugar trotters on the table that she loved to eat. Wang Lao Tai couldn't help but burst out laughing at her expression: "I just have this one signature dish, I learned it from someone back in the day. If you love eating it, I'll make sure to prepare it for you often."

  "Wow, I'm so lucky!" Ji Xiao Li blew a breath, the soft skin combined with the sweet and sour sauce, the meat wasn't too rotten but had a great texture, just looking at it was appetizing, not to mention the feeling of eating it now.

  She almost blurted out that Wang Shu's family must be very happy to have such delicious food... but then she thought of what Qin Zhenyang had mentioned, that Wang Shu had never married in her life. When she was young, she had been with a man, but he died in battle, so she never had the idea of getting married again, and now she is still alone.

  Wang old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes, using the chopsticks placed aside to help her pick up food: "Eat more, you're not fat, don't be like those girls who only know how to lose weight, it's not good for your body either."

  Ji Xiaoli had known for a long time that her husband had good feelings towards Wang Shu, but when it came to herself, she was the same. Since childhood, only her father had truly cared about her, and now there was also Wang Shu, who genuinely cared about her.

  "King aunt, you like to eat bitter melon?" Although bitter melon is a good thing that clears heat and detoxifies, Ji Xiaoli has never been used to its bitter taste.

  Wang Lao Tai didn't nod or shake her head, but smiled and said: "It's not that I like it, it's just that I'm used to this taste. In the past, my husband liked it, but I didn't. Every time we ate, I would throw the bitter melon into his bowl. After he was gone, there was no one to pick on, so I tried eating this thing. Now if I say I don't like it, that's not right... it's just that I've grown a bit dependent on it..."

  Ji Xiaoli's hand paused, "Wang Auntie, you..."

  "Let's not talk about that anymore, it's all in the past and doesn't make much sense to bring it up again... Young Mistress, have some of this soup, I stewed it for a long time, let me serve you a bowl."

  Ji Xiaoli sighed, she wanted to say, "Aunt Wang, if you married, maybe your life would be better," but she knew that if it were possible, Aunt Wang would have done so long ago. It was just that she had always insisted, and perhaps her heart had followed that man a long time ago.

  After dinner, Ji Xiaoli leaned on the sofa and lay down for a while, preparing to go upstairs to prepare the design draft. At this time, the doorbell at the entrance of the courtyard rang, and Wang Aunt walked out of the room, looked at the visitor through the peephole, and let him in.

  "Little Liu, how is it you?" It was the attendant beside Old Lady Qin, originally arranged by Old Master Qin for her.

  Nothing was reported to the three treasuries, and Aunt Wang always felt that something would happen. Liu Ming saw her and was quite polite, after all, he was also a junior, smiled slightly and said: "Aunt Wang, it's the old lady who asked me to come over and take Miss Ji over."

  Take the young lady away? Mrs. Wang's expression was somewhat complicated, and at this time, the young master was not at home. She also knew that the old lady had opinions about the family, precisely because of this, something must have happened to summon her back.

  "Do you know what's so urgent?"

  Liu Mingsheng scratched his head, "I don't know about that, the old lady didn't say anything, she just asked me to come over and pick someone up. Is Miss Ji at home now?"

  It's clear that something is off... The implication is obvious, if the young lady was at home, even if she didn't want to go, Liu Ming would have forcibly taken her away!

  It's a pity that the young master is not at home, she wants to stop people but can't.

  "You wait a bit, the young lady should be sleeping upstairs, I'll go up and call her for you." Old Lady Wang said this wasn't unreasonable, Liu Ming was a man, with his wife sleeping upstairs, it wouldn't be good to barge in rashly.

  Liu Mingsheng heard this and didn't object. He just stood by the sofa, waiting. It was clear that he had no intention of leaving.

  Wang old lady sighed, went upstairs and didn't enter the bedroom first, but dialed young master's phone in front of the bedroom door. She only hoped that young master could answer the phone at this time!

  However, at this time Qin Zhenyang was attending a meeting in the big team, and his mobile phone had been turned off before entering the conference room. So no matter how many calls Wang Lao Taitai made one after another, she couldn't get through. At this point, even if she had any other means, they became useless.

  "Aunt Wang, what's going on?" Ji Xiaoli locked herself in her bedroom to work on her draft, normally Aunt Wang wouldn't disturb her unless something was up.

  The old lady's usual calmness seemed to have been broken, and she sighed: "Someone has come from the Lou family, it's from the side of the elderly lady. I don't know what happened on that end, but now they're letting someone take you over."

  Take her away?

  It's true that Old Lady Qin chose a good time, because the military exercise is imminent and although the major military regions have not yet started closed training, they are already getting tense. There are constant meetings big and small, and it's reasonable that her youngest son is not around, since her husband also left early in the morning, which is also why she had someone bring this person over now.

  Ji Xiaoli furrowed her brow, but her expression didn't change much. She forced herself to calm down and squeezed out a faint smile: "Then I'll pack up and head over with him soon, don't want to keep them waiting."

  It's a lie to say that I'm not nervous, previously at Qin Zong's engagement party, she had already experienced the venomous tongue of Old Lady Qin and that fierce momentum. However, this time they have all invited her personally, if she doesn't go, it will definitely lead to gossip, let alone when you're cornered, hiding like this isn't a solution either.

  "Madam, why don't I go with you too? If anything happens, I can help you..." The more calm Wang's wife was, the more anxious and uneasy she became. If previously she had treated Young Master as her own son, then towards Madam, she had already regarded her as a daughter or daughter-in-law, and her feelings were not fake.

  Ji Xiaoli shook her head: "Aunt Wang, just stay at home, it's fine. Even if Old Lady Qin doesn't like me, she won't really do anything to me. If you go and speak up for me, she might really think I'm some kind of monster."

  "Why?"

  Ji Xiaoli stuck out her tongue, "I've only been in this family for less than a year and I can already make you, Wang Shu, go through thick and thin for me. So in her eyes, I must be a demon who can bewitch people's hearts..."

  Old Lady Wang wanted to smile, but she was still uneasy at heart, muttering to herself: "Even if it's really a monster, it's one that both I and the young master like...it's not as if it's guilty of ten heinous crimes."

  Next, Ji Xiaoli changed into a different set of clothes. When she was at home, she dressed more casually, but since she was going to see Old Lady Qin, if she dressed like that, she might be said to be disrespectful to her elders. So she changed into a slightly more formal dress, put on some light makeup, and then picked up her handbag and went downstairs.

  Liu Mingsheng downstairs waited for no more than a minute, and didn't feel like he had waited too long. Seeing someone coming down, he was also very satisfied. His eyes scanned over, secretly glancing at San Ye's wife several times.

  The Qin family is spreading rumors that San Ye's wife must be a demon in disguise, otherwise why would San Ye, who has always been indifferent to women, become so estranged from his family for the sake of this one woman. The old lady and the old chief are both opposed to it, but he insists on being with her.

  However, in Liu Ming's view, this woman is not much like the legendary one. To say that she has a seductive charm or beauty is not enough, at most she is elegant and beautiful, but not showy, yet very pleasing to look at.

  At this glance, he suddenly understood Qin San Ye a little.

  However, he remembered his task from start to finish. He stood up from the sofa and walked over with a faint smile: "Miss Ji, I'm Liu Ming Sheng, Old Madam asked me to come pick you up."

  Among the servants and guards on the Qin family's side, as well as the housekeeper and butler, this woman, even if she was Third Master's wife, had not been recognized by Old Master, so she could only be called Miss Ji, rather than Third Young Master's wife.

  Ji Xiaoli seemed to have not heard his stutter clearly, the smile on her face remained faint, "I'm all ready, since there's nothing wrong, let's just go over."

  The aunt's eyes showed some worry and she whispered: "Young Madam, don't worry, I'll talk to Young Master when he comes back."

  It's just that Young Master has been leaving early and returning late these past few days, often only coming back in the dead of night, so even if he knew, it would probably be meaningless by then.

  Ji Xiaoli followed the man into the black Bentley, and the two of them drove in silence for about half an hour before arriving at the Qin family's mansion.

  "Miss Ji, we've arrived."

  Ji Xiaoli was here for the first time. Qin Zong's engagement banquet wasn't held here before. Seeing everything here, especially the armed guards outside the mansion, she was stunned, and her eyes seemed to have some different emotions.

  "Miss Ji, the old lady is waiting for you in the living room."

  Madam Qin was sitting on the sofa, sipping her tea with a hint of impatience. She glanced at the time and said, "Why is it taking so long? This woman's attitude is really too much!"

  Waited for almost an hour.

  Zhang Xiujiao was also sitting, but on the other side. She helped to add some tea water and was about to say a sarcastic remark when she suddenly saw someone leading a woman over.

  "Mom, they're here."

  Madam Qin suddenly raised her head, the Qinghua porcelain teacup still held in her palm, a sharp gaze swept past, looking at the woman who was led over.

  It's her! The seductive old three doesn't even go home often, willing to spend his days outside just to be with her! And now it's not just that, this woman is also involved with her grandson.

  Madam Qin was still entangled before, whether Qin Zong had robbed the third child's woman, which is not moral! However, Eldest Brother's wife has been whispering in her ear that it was this woman who seduced him, otherwise a big man would not have fallen so quickly. She thought about it carefully and it wasn't wrong, it was just one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten.

  If this woman were honest, she would never meet Qin Zong alone, and there would be no subsequent events! If you must say something, it can only be said that this woman is not a peaceful one!

  Madam Qin pressed her lips together and put down the cup with a moderate force, but in the quiet living room, it still made a considerable noise. She narrowed her eyes coldly, and a hint of impatience spread from the corner of her mouth: "Miss Ji, this is our second meeting!"
